The eye

The face was rather gruesome.
That it was clearly a face,
Garish, decrepit,
Featured in the very worst light.
Unforgivable giving the tools we’ve been given
To tweak, to enhance, to smooth to glorify.

It leaves, then, why he did it.
To mean to be seen in this way?
To mean… what?
That he is scary that you should stay away?
That he repels in you that sense of the macabre you eschew
Or do you?
